[. . . ] The chain will be damaged if it is cut at a place where it has been joined with a reinforced connecting pin or an end pin. · Be careful not to let the cuffs of your clothes get caught in the chain while riding, otherwise you may fall off the bicycle. · Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not damaged. [. . . ] · If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should replace the derailleur. · You should periodically clean the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts (mechanism and pulleys). · If gear shifting adjustment cannot be carried out, check the degree of parallelism at the rear end of the bicycle. Also check if the cable is lubricated and if the outer casing is too long or too short. · If you hear abnormal noise as a result of looseness in a pulley, you should replace the pulley. · If the wheel becomes stiff and difficult to turn, you should lubricate it with grease. · Do not apply any grease to the inside of the hub, otherwise the grease will come out again. · You should periodically wash the sprockets in a neutral detergent and then lubricate them again. In addition, cleaning the chain with neutral detergent and lubricating it can be a effective way of extending the useful life of the sprockets and the chain. · If the chain keeps coming off the sprockets during use, replace the sprockets and the chain. · Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to both sides. Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handlebars are turned all the way. · Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly. · Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when the front chainwheel is turning. [. . . ] If the chain is touching the 3rd sprocket and making noise, turn the outer casing adjustment barrel clockwise slightly to tighten it until the noise stops and the chain runs smoothly. For the best SIS performance, periodically lubricate all power-transmission parts.
